DEFINITIONS:

CLEANING: removes pathogens, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Use soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process doesn’t kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.

DISINFECTING: kills pathogens on surfaces or objects. Disinfection works by using chemicals to kill germs and viruses on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove pathogens, but by killing pathogens on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.

SANITIZING: lowers the number of pathogens on surfaces or objects to a safe level, as judged by public health standards or requirements. This process works by either cleaning or disinfecting surfaces or objects to lower the risk of spreading infection.
